She Still Needs Love

Rock Island

When you become comfortable in your skin, you tend to just ignore what people say about you. Creating this fog of carelessness only gives you the sense to EAT MORE. Then one thing leads to another and your weight increase from 250 to 340. You can only imagine hearing that your 340lbs and your going to die. I was prepared to die with 1 nuggets in my hand. It never crossed my mind whether or not a guy would like me for who I am. I always had those fantasies where I marry my Prince Charming and we sail away on a motor boat and EAT! - Hessing

Mom worked from 9 to 5 as a Nursing Assistant, so school would let in around 8 and let out at 3p.m. not bad for an Elementary School. We leaved right behind the school by a train track. Rarely would trains come by, but when it did everything shook the house. I was 5th grade at the time and only had one guy friend named Daniel. White guy, with long hair, green/ bluish eyes , with the smile of a con man. He lived right crossed the tracks from me. He would wait for me to leave the house and sneak up on me while I walked down the tracks. Of course I he never scared me because it was a everyday thing.

"Did you do Mrs. Chris Math Homework? I don't get why she wanted us to do Fractions on a Tuesday!"

"Danny if that made sense I would agree, but year hurry and copy before we get in class, you know she has eyes in the back of her head."

Mrs. Chris was a evil teacher that made you cry and then ask why you cried. I remember it like it was yesterday I was the new girl and everyone hated my guts, I complained to her that all the kids were saying I should go back to Louisiana. One day she was so upset with me and said " Maybe its best for you to move back to Louisiana"

I went home and cried for hours about that, I fixed my mouth to tell my mom what happened. My Mom called the school and arranged a meeting with her. I was so sick to go to her class that morning, she came to me and apologize. I felt so uneven about everything. From that day forward I kept my distance and just did her work.

Danny was the only person I loved to hang out with during school, there was a secret fort in the forest by the school. I was a giant compared to him, and he still talked to me. You can say I had feelings for him but we were in the 5th grade, so dating is out of the question. Other kids would stare at us because we never played with them. We were independent.

Danny was Romanian and German. His mom took care of him, she was a truck driver and was barely home. My mom would cook dinner and invite him over every night. You could say he was apart of the family. My mom would call us both her kids. When his mom would come home she would pay my mom for keeping him. It was sweet, but she loved to watch him.

Daniel and I went through school together, but I never thought his mom wouldn't have come back. She abandoned Daniel, and he ended up leaving to move in to live with his grandmother in Ohio. I cried and cried trying to figure out why he couldn't stay with us. My mom said it was best for him to move in with family. I went to Daniel house to help him pack, he couldn't look me in the eyes. We sat in silence, till he broke the ice.

"Was I not good enough for her?"
"Don't say that Danny."

He started crying, all I could do is hold him tightly. He meant so much to me and my mom.

"I love you Danny, and I will always will love you. You were perfect for me."

He looked up at me and smile, we did our secret handshake and kept on packing. My mom and I helped him bring his stuff over to our house. We hand our dinner and his grandmother come to get him. She was such a tiny lady. I see where his height came from. She was sweet and warming so I felt alright about him leaving with her. We were walking to the car and he grabbed my hand.

"Don't forget about me Hessing"
"I won't Danny"

We hugged tightly and he got in the car and drove away. I was sad. School wasn't the same without him. I had to make friends. He slowly started to fade away from my memory

It was the end of 6th grade we were headed to Middle school anyway. My mom told me that we were moving to Montana. It's sad to say around that time I really did forget about Danny.

He probably forgot about me don't you think?
